We do not sell or share telephone numbers, SMS consent information, or mobile subscriber information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We do not knowingly sell personal information belonging to children under 16.

Certain state privacy laws may define terms such as “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than their ordinary meaning. Where applicable law gives you a right to opt out of a qualifying use or disclosure of personal information, you may submit a request using the contact information in this Privacy Policy.

Some third-party features embedded in or linked from the Site may place or access their own cookies or similar technologies.

You can generally manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may cause certain areas of the Site, account portals, forms, or other Services to function incorrectly.


9. Children's Privacy

Smart Boost Tutoring provides educational Services to students, including minors. We recognize that children's personal information requires additional protection.

Parents and legal guardians are expected to be involved in enrollment, payment, account administration, and the submission of personal information for younger students.

9.1 Children Under 13

We do not intend to knowingly collect personal information online directly from a child under 13 without the consent of a parent or legal guardian when parental consent is required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) or other applicable law.

Where COPPA applies, we will take reasonable steps to:

Provide parents with appropriate notice regarding the information being collected;

Obtain verifiable parental consent when required before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from a child under 13;

Limit collection to information reasonably necessary for the applicable educational purpose;

Protect the confidentiality and security of children's personal information;

Allow parents to review information collected from their child where required;

Allow parents to request deletion of their child's personal information where required; and

Discontinue further collection or use when legally required following withdrawal of parental consent.

If we learn that personal information has been submitted directly by a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent and appropriate consent was not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete or appropriately address that information.

9.2 Parent and Guardian Requests

A parent or legal guardian who has questions regarding information associated with their child may contact us at:

[email protected]

We may take reasonable steps to verify the identity and authority of the requesting parent or guardian before providing access to, correcting, or deleting information.


10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

Provide tutoring or educational Services;

Maintain student and customer relationships;

Complete transactions;

Maintain required records;

Resolve disputes;

Enforce agreements;

Protect against fraud or abuse; and

Meet legal, tax, accounting, or regulatory obligations.

Information may be retained for different periods depending on its nature and purpose.

Personal information relating to children will be retained only as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our operational practices and applicable law.


11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

These safeguards may include access controls, account protections, service-provider controls, and other security measures appropriate to the nature of the information.

However, no website, online service, electronic communication, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify us if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised.


12. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

Confirm whether we process your personal information;

Provide access to personal information we maintain about you;

Correct inaccurate personal information;

Delete certain personal information;

Provide a portable copy of certain information;

Limit or opt out of certain uses of personal information;

Opt out of qualifying sales or sharing where applicable;

Withdraw consent for certain communications; or

Explain certain categories of personal information collected, used, or disclosed.

You may also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

To submit a privacy request, contact:

[email protected]

Please include enough information for us to reasonably identify you and understand your request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. A parent, guardian, or authorized agent may submit a request when permitted by applicable law, subject to appropriate verification.

Some information may be exempt from a request or may need to be retained to comply with legal obligations, complete transactions, protect security, or exercise or defend legal rights.


13. Communication Choices

You may manage communications as follows:

Email Marketing: Use the unsubscribe link included in applicable promotional emails.

SMS: Reply STOP to opt out of text messages.

SMS Support: Reply HELP for assistance.

Account and Service Communications: Certain transactional, tutoring, scheduling, security, account, or legal communications may still be sent when necessary to provide the Services or maintain your account.


14. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites, registration systems, learning platforms, payment providers, support tools, or other online services.

When you interact directly with a third party, that third party may collect information under its own terms and privacy policy.

Smart Boost Tutoring is not responsible for the independent privacy practices, security practices, or content of third-party websites or services that it does not control.

We encourage users and parents to review the privacy policies of third-party services they use.


15. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Controls

Some browsers and devices offer “Do Not Track,” Global Privacy Control, or similar privacy preference signals.

Because legal and technical standards regarding these signals continue to develop, our response may depend on the applicable law, technology involved, and functionality available through the Site or its service providers.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will process that signal as required by law.


16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our Services, technology, legal obligations, or business practices.

When changes are made, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy.

If required by applicable law, we may provide additional notice regarding material changes.

Your continued use of the Site or Services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
